The Story Behind Cantina 1948
Cantina 1948 started as a dream—a dream to bring the flavors and energy of Mexico to Temple, TX. Growing up, I spent countless nights around family tables, sharing stories over warm tortillas and smoky mezcal. I wanted to create a place where those same moments could happen for others. In 1948, my grandparents opened a small cantina in Mexico, and their passion for food and community inspired everything we do here.
